Wrong. You just got done saying that you can determine distances from the line of sight yet in your very own line of sight poles b and d nearly over lap. Fruthermore, pole c is further from pole d in your line of sight that pole d and b, yet in the photot the exact opposite is true....pole c is closer to d than d is to b.
Which means that the line of sight I've drawn is off by a fraction, and if you rotate it very slightly clockwise then you'll reproduce the exact relative positions of the poles in photo #2. And the only reason you're saying that the poles nearly overlap is that you're imagining that their size is something similar to the big blue blobs you've pasted into the overhead photo to represent them, whereas in reality they're much narrower.
It's trivially easy to figure all this out from drawing the line of sight.
